Because they're a bit desperate and need him to start working so that their decision not to get a striker doesn't look so mental.

I don't want either THB or Stephens in the starting 11. I don't want either keeper really but that's the choice we have given we never bothered to sign a good one in the summer for some reason. The choice is between the two and McCarthy is clearly better despite his deficiencies.

It wasn't our starting lineup .

If any of Bazunu and Stephens -maybe THB - are in the starting 11 on Saturday then Still deserves to lose his job for that alone.

Oh dear. I hope he doesn't mean he's not going to make the changes that need to happen on Saturday.

Fraser slows us down and it's about the team not individuals. He shouldn't be in the starting 11 for me despite his usefulness in his adaptability.

McCarthy Jelert Wood Edwards Quarshie Manning Downes Charles Armstrong Scienza Archer Would be my team for Saturday I think until we work out a way of playing well with four at the back. Bring on Fellows and Robinson. None of Bazunu Mads THB Stephens Wee man Downs Should be in the team but you know the majority will play. If Stephens keeps getting picked instead of Wood then it wouldn't surprise me if some people go all Jermaine Wright over him and start booing when his name is announced.

For the money absolutely. He was clearly third choice though after the Armenian and the bloke from Coventry. Should have not bothered and used the money for a striker.

Not sure how Azaz gets in this team tbh.

Our best half of the season despite the goal at the end.

Surely Armstrong has to play ?

I agree but I still think this is a million miles better than the weekend. Had we played this team on Saturday I think we would have done better.

Square pegs in square holes for a change. OK we will lose this game and maybe get well beaten but finally, finally this has shown us we have some shoots that we can build on. Armstrong has to play in his best position, Wood has to play, Scienza looks interesting, Jander further forward is a good idea. Stephens and THB should be dropped with Armstrong captain imo.

I've seen enough. This team should play Saturday. Absolutely miles better. Bin off Stephens, THB, wee man.

The argument seems to be that there are a lot of other illegal immigrants who are dangerous who should leave as well. I expect if you asked ICE they would agree.

Well I'd rather try something else given that the existing personnel aren't performing. We have options so need to experiment.

Funny is funny.

Can we honestly say that wood and Edwards as the two cbs would be worse than Stephens and THB? Worth a try surely?

TBF wasn't it the blacking up that was the racist bit ?

Probably our most important position of the summer where we spent a big chunk of our budget.

Robinson then or invite Edozie back in from the cold.

A mate of mine made a good point today. We got rid of a lot of our proven championship performers from our starting 11 but the replacements have been worse thus far. Smallbone, Aribo, Edozie, Bree have shown they can do a half decent job in this league. I understand why we have replaced them all but I do wonder how sensible a strategy it has been.

Also the echo supporter suggesting we go back to five at the back. What an admission of failure that would be. Five at the back at home against anyone in this league is pathetic and an indictment of everyone responsible for recruitment if it happens.

And there we go. Despite some people on here saying we didn't need anyone else, our inability to sign a striker suited to our style of play is what is going to cost us dearly this season.

I think the reason to give still a few more games imo is because the new players have only really had a couple of games and some even less than that. I think we need a bit more evidence how his style- whatever it is -translates to some of these new players.
